15th Annual Women’s History Conference

The two-day conference features a keynote address by historian Alice Kessler Harris—distinguished professor at Columbia University and author of A Difficult Woman: The Challenging Life and Times of Lillian Hellman—and a roundtable discussion moderated by Blanche Wiesen Cook about the life and work of pioneering feminists Amy Swerdlow and Gerda Lerner, who directed the Sarah Lawrence Women’s History program, the first in the nation. Panel discussions include “Global and Local Resistance,” “Educational Activism,” and “Transnational Peace Activism.” Registration is required.
